Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@klh007  In relation to volume control methods, the Leedh software solution has amazed the reviewers who can't believe it is more transparent than hardware solutions, Lumin is one company using Leedh. I've heard the Leedh volume control extens... 
For those that have separate Streamers & DACS
Get an Aurender N20 it's the sweet spot, Aurender is a major brand with good support and resale value. Computer based servers will have you fiddling around, forget it. If you are positive you never want a pre-amp, I'd consider a Lumin U1. Peopl... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
@rmpribeiro Just leave your equipment switched on. No need to play anything.  
Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle
The Oyaide R1 and Furutech NCF series are reference receptacles. I suggested the Oyaide because that's what I use and have been very happy with them. It's also about half price of the Furutech once you include all the fittings. I sincerely doubt ...

Duelund 12AWG Biwire Amp runs hot
If the only change you have made is installing DIY speaker cables then the problem logically should be with them. 12 AWG should be ok so maybe you have a short circuit. You need to FULLY remove your cables from your system and do an insulation te... 
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
@treynolds155 I was introduced to WireWorld cables this year and I've been astonished how good they are. WW Starlight 8 CAT 8 is a bargain Ethernet cable and the Starlight 8 Platinum CAT 8 is phenomenal in a higher price bracket.  
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@erniejade This first thing you will realise is the huge soundstage, the 005 projects a much bigger soundstage than many much more expensive DACs. Expect a 6-8 week burn-in. The 005 IMO is uncoloured and transparent so if your system is warm or ... 
Ditch your USB cable for Toslink? Might surprise you!
